“Where doss Mr.
live ?”

The aunny south has been hit hard
by all aorta ot weather, Rain, bliz
zards, anow, sleet and hail have fol
lowed eaoh other in rapid and regu
larly recurring successions. Cj clones
and earthquakes are about the only
things omitted up to date, and these
will probably bring up the rear. We'I,
Thomasville is about as well prepared
for them as any aeetion of the coun
try.
Hon. M. A- Hanna, of Cleveland,
Ohio, one of the wealthiest and most
prominent citizens of the Buckeye
State, has arrived and joined bis fam
ily at their winter home on Dawson
street. Mr. Hanna has visited Thom
asville before and is known to a great
many of our people. His friends and
acquaintances here are all glad to see
him down among the pines again:
With good weather (there, we have
unconsciously dropped into the sub
ject again) work will go ahead on the
new water works plant.
'T have only been able to work
three days daring the last two weeks,’
said Superintendent Piayter yesterday.
See notioo of three books lost.)
asked a visitor yesterday.
The gentleman addressed proceeded
to enlighten the Btranger as best he
could, but he had to explain numer
ous turns and corners, all of which
was more or less confusing. Now if
the name of eaoh street was plainly
painted and fastened up at each street
corner, tit would simplify things very
muoh and be a fconvenience to every
one.
Speaking of the weather—but we’il
let it pass for the present. It is our
purpose to tako up the subject and
write a series o£ lengthy and able
articles on it during the long summer
months. With coat off, all windows
up and the thermometer up in the
nineties, it is our fixed and unaltera
ble aim to paint things lurid in this
vicinity. It would not be prudeat to
say more at present.
John Henry Jones, better known,
perhaps, in sandy bottom circles, as
“New Coon,” is again in trouble. It
hasn’t been long since he served a
term on the gang,but he did not profit
by the lesson taught him, and Judge
Alexander, of the [county court, sent
him up again yesterday morning for
two months. He was convicted of
assault and batiery.
Mr. W. C. Pittman has commenced
work on the erection of four nice cot
tages on Washington street. Mr.
Henry Arnold, who has the contract
for the brick work, has the foundations
laid for the new buildings. Mr, Pitt
man will also build, so we understand,
four nice houses on Monroo street,
near the Charity Hospital, as soon as
these are completed.
Superintendent Thompson, of the
water works, had the air lift machin
ery at work yesterday forcing water
into the standpipe. The regular
pumping machinery was also at work.
That was a delighted audience at
the opera house last night. The
Karnival of Kommerce proved a de
cided success.
By hatching our advertising col
umns you will see where the best bar
gains are to be bad.
